Answer: A) Average rate of speed = 2.4miles/hr
B) If Celeste keeps hiking at the average speed, she will cover 6miles in 2.5 hours.
This implies that her estimates to cover 6miles in less than 2 hours is not reasonable.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average rate of speed = Distance/Time
= 1.8/0.75 = 2.4miles/hr
If 1.8 miles = 0.75hour, find the time it will take to complete 6 miles, let the time be represented by x
6 miles = x
Therefore, 1.8 miles = 0.75hour
6 miles = x
We cross multiply
1.8x = 4.5
Divide both sides by 1.8
x = 4.5/ 1.8
x = 2.5hours

f Celeste keeps hiking at the average speed, she will cover 6miles in 2.5 hours.
This implies that her estimates to cover 6miles in less than 2 hours is not reasonable.
